Genesis 41:53-57

53Then the seven years of abundance in the land of Egypt came to an end,

54and the seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in every land, but in the whole land of Egypt there was food.

55When the whole land of Egypt was stricken with famine, the people cried out to Pharaoh for food. Pharaoh told all Egypt, “Go to Joseph and do whatever he tells you.”

56Now the famine had spread across the whole region, so Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.

57Every land came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain, for the famine was severe in every land.
